After returning from Vietnam, I discharged from the Army at Ft Lewis Washington in 1970. I was having 'adjustment' issues, and didn't fit in. My grandparents had left me enough money to buy 40 acres in rural NE Washington state, right along the Canadian border. I decided to build a cabin. You could walk from the cabin about 100 miles into Canada before you crossed a road. 5 miles of 4 wheel drive to get there. No electricity. Built everything by hand, no power tools. We didn't use a crane or anything to lift the logs, couldn't get one up there. We used block& tackle, & rigging, you can see it in the pictures. Except I did use a gas chain saw to cut the logs. We cut I peeled all the logs right there. I'll post a few more pics & tell a little more of what it was like to build a log cabin in the wilderness....

Couple more pics. The center ridge pole was 45' long & probably weighed 1000 lbs. I had a pucker factor of 10 while we lifted that big mother up there, you could really hear the rigging moan!:shock:

I hired some of the local high school kids (friends of my foster son) to work on the cabin. My idea of.... "Boys to Men"..

My father in law came up for a visit & stayed for the whole summer, to help out.........I thought it was because he like the beer & the fishing.......but I found out later that my nightmares, scared my wife shitless the whole time.......so I assume now, it was out of concern for his daughter....:sad:

i have the whole dick proenneke series, i watch it all the time. makes great, relaxing background noise for trimming.

edit: he was 51 when he moved out there and built his cabin, not in his 70s. he stayed until his mid 80's.
